Jose Mourinho tells Man United to forget the last three years

Jose Mourinho has told everyone associated with Manchester United to forget the three-year period under David Moyes and Louis van Gaal as he looks to replicate the triumphant history that made the club a “giant”.

Wembley glory was unable to mask poor Premier League performances in terms of style and substance, with United quickly following up their long-reported interest in the Portuguese.
